I've been on the internet a lot, sometimes even without ads blocked, and never encountered this. Do they geotarget Americans?
- Far_Pig 4y agoAmerican, I see them on TV and on the internets regularly, and have been for at least 5-8 years.
- bowsamic 4y agoAs far as I'm aware, yes
- atty 4y agoAmerican here, have not seen this in my many corners of the web.
- surfpel 4y agoNot that I’ve seen, but at this point my targeted ads are all industrial products.
- junon 4y agoThe ones I've seen are from in-video ads (where the YouTuber themselves have a sponsorship deal and dedicate a part of the video to it).
- wnevets 4y agoThere was a MMA fighter on YouTube that I used to watch that would hock this crap. Would you like to guess why I stopped watching?
- brightball 4y agoI see them all the time.
- stjohnswarts 4y agothey were on facebook for a couple of years in "sponsored ads" boxes that pop up in the feed. I think I blocked them after a while and never saw them again.
- spelunker 4y agoI haven't seen them very often but I'm sure I'll get targeted ads now!
- elliekelly 4y agoScott Disick (of Kardashians fame) gave them quite a bit of American publicity a few years back.
- jakub_g 4y agoI see this a lot browsing FB from France (with en locale though).
